Tanaka Sekiso hands down Great grinds, works well as an all around knife, looks sweet when it's acid etched, too.

+2 for the Tanaka Seisko, great blue #2 steels, takes and holds a great edge, easy to sharpen and a nice convexing grind. Decent no frills handle. If you take the effort to care for a carbon blade this is the one to buy.
